Because the moon is moving away very slowly there will be a last total solar eclipse at some point. We’re lucky to have such good ones currently
Low quality information is easier to produce than high quality information

It’s not a straw man, the guy knows what he’s talking about. Destroying biodiversity is a major problem with a lot of tree farms and tree planting programs. Tree planting doesn’t HAVE to do that but that kind of management is hard to do, like the guy said
